Roland SP808

Anyone use this sampler? Opinions on it? Mates just inherited one but has no use for it, worth buying? Always wanted an mpc/sampler but never had the cash for it, don't whether to take the chance and buy it off him for cheap.

I paid $100 for the one I had from a pawn shop ... I sold it for $300 and bought a Roland Alpha Juno (which I then sold to stack up on a bunch of VST instruments). I kinda miss it though ... It was kind of complex for no reason at all but that gritty sound is classic
